Illegal Immigration in Arizona: why is Obama not giving Arizona a break?

I always find it easier to picture states or nations in terms of neighborhoods or homes. It’s a little more familiar and concrete that way. Imagine that you live in a well-ordered, policed town, and in order to fund the town, the rightful citizens are taxed. So far, so good. To keep the town in working order, you have to have documentation that you’re a citizen. Makes sense: since if you’re not documented, you can find a way out of getting taxed. That way, you get all the benefits of being in our town, but none of the cost.

This is what is happening in Arizona. Arizona is a border state: in other words, it is a town that borders a foreign neighborhood that aren’t citizens of Arizona. Every day, more and more citizens from Mexico pour over into Arizona, breaking state and federal immigration laws. But this is a problem. Remember: to keep the state fiscally afloat, its citizens need to be taxed. But if you’re in Arizona illegally, you can easily evade taxes. Now, watch what happens.

Mexicans take advantage of the hospitals, the schools, and tax-funded prisons. But what happens if more and more Mexicans come in, use the schools, the hospitals, and fill the prisons, but don’t pay taxes? The state eventually becomes broke. How else are all these services and benefits going to be funded?

As a result, citizens of Arizona are fleeing north, as did the citizens of California.

What is cool is that Arizona governor Jan Brewer had enough. She enforced the immigration laws of her state, because the federal government has been so slow to act while her state is in a fiscal crisis, the same crisis that is making California bankrupt.

But - for some reason that I’m not aware of - Obama doesn’t like what Brewer is doing. Obama called Brewer ‘misguided’. To make the job of Arizona police harder, he has gotten the Justice Department involved to make sure no one’s civil rights are violated. What is frustrating is that we all know what that means. The minute a police officer is suspicious of someone, he’s going to hesitate, because he knows his judgment is under a microscope, and he knows there’s a real possibility that the ACLU could probably prove - in some crooked court - that the ‘undocumented worker’ was racially profiled.

Do you see what’s happening? This is just annoying to me. It seems like Obama can do what he wants - since it is ‘legal’ - but he knows what he is doing. Why not let the Arizona police do their job? Why not give a whole darn state some faith? The federal government isn’t doing anything, and in the mean time, the state is fiscally dying. By doing this, Obama is feeding a theory about him (that isn’t fair at first glance) that’ll make me never vote for him: the majority of Mexicans vote democrat - connect the dots.

So, Obama cares more for the civil rights of people who don’t have a right to be here, and less for the rights of hard-working, legal citizens, who have to go to work everyday, get taxed, and have those taxes pay for the services and benefits of people who evade our laws, who evade taxes, and leech off the system, until the system is dry? I mean, money doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s got to be taxed. Without taxing hard-working Americans, the Nation’s bank account plummets. I mean, do you guys see the pattern?

Another thing we have a right to do as a Nation is put our military on the border. I think this is called for. Drug cartels come across the border everyday. A lot of times, they’re escorted by the Mexican military - read that again. Hard working farmers have been murdered, along with the police. Kidnappings. Etc. There’s got to be a seal on the border. We can’t just be a nanny forever. It just doesn’t work that way. If you continue to be nice and just let anyone in whenever, we’re not going to last very much longer. It’s just the logic of it, as I see it.

I know the immigration issue is complicated. But seriously. Why is Obama silent on it? There’s 12 to 20 million illegal aliens here. 12 to 20 million! And that’s just roughly. We’re not taking into account all their family connections. No nation in the history of civilization has survived with that track record. Rome did it. Europe is doing it with the muslims.

A part of a nation is its culture. If citizens aren’t naturalized, they bring their culture with them. Multiculturalism is a good thing, and that’s the cool thing about America. We can have a chinatown, a ‘south of the border’, etc. But first and foremost, they’re Americans. A lot of these Mexicans - and you can hear it straight from the horse’s mouth - believe that the southwestern part of America was stolen from them, and that it’s theirs, and they’re going to get it back, not militarily, but from the ground up, from the inside out, coming in, evading the laws, using the voting system, infiltrating American culture, and getting it back, and getting back at us that way.

That’s no way to come to America. That’s a horrible attitude to have. Something has got to be done. And Arizona has taken the initiative. Some statistics show that around 8 million African Americans are being shut off from jobs they’d otherwise have if illegal Mexicans didn’t have them: and Al Sharpton is going to march against Arizona law against the illegals? Oh, the irony.

What is also funny is the irony somewhere else. Mexico has a lot of indignation toward us if we don’t bend over backwards to take in their illegals. But Mexico deports their illegal aliens. Isn’t that hypocritical? And why do they do that? Well, they have immigration laws, and they know they can’t stay fiscally afloat if they have a boatload of illegal citizens who can leech off the services and benefits without being taxed. They know money doesn’t just pop into being out of nothing.

I’ll stop here, but I just thought I’d write this because I think Arizona is doing the right thing, and that Obama is just annoying me.
